“Winner-take-all” is a term used to describe single member district and
at large election systems that award seats to the highest vote getters
without ensuring fair representation for minority groups. In the United

block-voting systems. Under winner-take-all rules, a slim majority of
voters can control 100% of seats, leaving everyone else effectively
without representation.
